Package: openoffice.org Version: 1.1.3-4 Severity: important Followup-For: Bug #256640
This bug is still present in OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 and a serious problem in its "cannot open" aspect. Just imagine a giant file server with many filenames still in iso-8859-1 and no foreseen conversion possible (since desktops are still using mixed operating systems and character sets). OpenOffice.org can't open any of them :( Relevant strace lines: execve("/usr/bin/openoffice", ["openoffice", "Un éléphant.sxi"], [/* 33 vars */]) = 0 execve("/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice", ["/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soff"..., "Un \351l\351phant.sxi"], [/* 32 vars */]) = 0 execve("/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin", ["/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soff"..., "Un \351l\351phant.sxi"], [/* 36 vars */]) = 0 access("/tmp/Un �l�phant.sxi", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/tmp/Un �l�phant.sxi", 0xbfffc17c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/tmp/Un �l�phant.sxi", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory For the record I tried with an official build of 1.1.4 and got the same failure. I also looked in upstream bts but found nothing.
